Samson’s confidence is definitely shot right now, and it’ll be a tough road to get it back, particularly as his chances to do so will be from the bench for a while to come. I feel for the lad, but sadly there are already those who claim to support Colchester United showering him with mindless toxic abuse in the social media cesspool. [Post edited 8 Oct 8:57]

Nervy way to get the result we deserved, but I'll take that happily. Tbh, quite a good game for this competition, but Tovide won't be happy. Two very presentable chances to score, missed both, and as soon as Mbick and Lisbie came on the difference was obvious.
According to the commentary, we're definitely through now given the remaining fixtures, so just home side advantage to play for (and three wins out of three in the 1st round qualifiers).
Is it too early for the W word? |

Newport will probably be looking for a new manager before too long, if he's prepared to drop that low. |

I'm pretty sure Scott McGleish's was a second half hat-trick at Northampton? |

Credit where it's due, you've said several times we were due to give someone a right battering, and it happened today. I spent a very enjoyable afternoon (for me anyway) in a pub with my Spireite mate Craig 'in Germany' watching the game on my phone. Thoroughly deserved, and it shows what we can do when we put together a full 90 minutes. Jack Payne was in complete control, but what a team performance all round.
You're absolutely right, it means little if we don't back it up in Grimsby (and beyond).
Tell you what though, this result will send ripples throughout EFL 2, Chesterfield are no slouches, but they looked non-league today against the U's! |

Fantastic strength from Mbick to rob the defender, debate whether a card should have been shown for the defender's handball to block Jack Payne's goal-bound shot, but Jack makes no mistake from the spot.
2-1 to the U's, and definitely deserved. Lisbie is terrorising them! |

Fantastic start, excellent run and cross from Payne, and Lisbie doesn't miss this time!
Come On!!!

I assume Durham is at Fleetwood today, so time to get the matchday thread going.
One change for the U's for the starting XI this afternoon, with Macey returning from his concussion-protocol absence, and good to see him back (not that Tom Smith has done much wrong standing in - thanks Tom!). Mbick will be looking to cement his stake as our starting no. 9 going forward, but I expect Tovide will make an appearance at some point today.
Think I read Fleetwood have drawn their last two home games 1-1. Whilst it might not necessarily be a bad result today, I'm getting fed up with 1-1 draws, time we started turning them into 3 points. |

Depressing when you think that wouldn't even cover the cost of Isak to Liverpool.

You are a mover and a shaker chap, happy to chip in a few quid if you want to give it a go
But seriously, not exactly news, we already know the club is up for sale. The question is why the announcement now? My two-penneth, either we’re not getting the offers that RC can accept, or we’re trying to put pressure on someone already interested to improve their offer or lose out. Maybe the Yanks are still out there? |

My point being you quoted DC’s words from the programme, what else should he have said? We didn’t win, nobody can deny that, but do you disagree that we played well and deserved to win? Nothing hilarious about it, unless you watched a game I didn’t? |

Well we wanted a reaction after Accrington, and at least we got one, even if we couldn't get the win we deserved. Should have been ahead in the first half, not behind, but a lovely move starting from Araujo for the equaliser. The Gas definitely improved second half, but we still should have won it. People might be hard on Lisbie for poor finishing and decision making, but I hope not. He's definitely got talent, his pace terrifies defenders, and at least he's getting in those spaces to create those opportunities. It'll come for him if he keeps doing that. Still frustrating though, we should have beaten a team who I think will be in the promotion mix at the end of the season. |
